O'Brien Thu, 01 May 2008 22:37:03 +0000 http://www.worstedwitch.com/?p=248#comment-65568 Please do not flush litter down the toilet. there is a brain -eating parasite that cannot develop unless it has been through a cat's intestines. The sea otters dying in California may have it. I heard it on the TV yesterday. I have also read about it in a health letter that reported 60 million Americans have this parasite. I don't where they got that information but it certainly scares me. I came across your site while looking for St. Aubrey's Hairball remedy. My cats love it and won't touch any other remedy I've tried. Walmart's no longer carries it and I can't find it.

The corn based litter clumps tight, scoops easier than clay, is flushable, and doesnt track like some other non-clay brands. to top it all off, it doesnt have any fake smells or dust when you finish scooping. check it out! (BTW: i'm in no way affiliated with the company) Just need to say that i’ve been trying relentlessly to find a green approach to the cat litter situation, and World’s Best Cat Litter is everything it claims to be. i dont know how i ever used that clay stuff.

One suggestion, don't get the muli-cat formula if you have 2 cats. The odor is slightly stronger and I think it was the last straw that sent my cat on a bed and owner peeing (yes she peed on me while I was sleeping on our couch) spree. We have since won her over to both her new cave like litter box and the litter. But I do love the fact I can flush the stuff!

I finally managed to convince the hub to unplug the beastly thing. Because the corn-based cat litter we use is biodegradable and flushable, it’s easy to just scoop any kitty byproducts when we visit the bathroom and send it whoohing down the toilet. Chekhov sometimes leans over the toilet to watch, a bit aghast. Most notably, our bathroom doesn’t smell as it sometimes did before. [...] [...] Cat litter Remember our non-sustainable litter box?

(We couldn’t find World’s Best, while the Feline Pine the pet store carried only came in gargantuan sacks.) Made from pine wood shavings from the Cariboo area of Western Canada—the company claims no new trees are cut down to make the litter—Pinnacle Pine is flushable, biodegradable, dust-free, and contains no chemical additives or dyes. Bonus: It’s far more eco-friendly than clay, which is strip-mined. [...] [...] I managed to convince mi madre to pick up Pinnacle Pine’s natural pine-based cat litter for the family kitty.

Same concept but made from wheat. Scoopable and flushable and doesn't track any more than any other scoopable litter. It's not organic but it is affordable ($20/40 lb bag) and relatively easy to find - they even have it at Target in the midwest.

The timeliness is amazing. I have recently been trying to greenify, if you will, my life, my home, my family, everything that I can afford to do. Kitty litter was one of the next thing son my list. Thank you so much for sharing this information. I di dhave a question about knitting. I kno wof some places that use organic wool, I guess you might call it, but are there places that make organic cotton yarn? I really must thank you for your posts. The timeliness is amazing.

I find the notion laughable. But I told him if he was willing to stay home from work for two weeks in the hopes of babysitting an adult cat into using the toilet, he was more than welcome to try. We picked up a box and some "Feline Pine", the other day. I let him talk me into the complicated and highly plasticised cat box with moving parts, but no plug, fortunately. Once again your thoughtful post has given me a full day's reading in the meantime. Colby is fascinated with the idea of toilet-training cats. I find the notion laughable.
